POINTS FOR woRKiNGMES.

The TINES never proposed to use abuse
or anything like il against anybody, but
TO fearlesslv state facts and point out the
inevitable argument that lies in an active
fact, properly and truthfully defined; and
in this policy we have shown where the
ideas OF the knights Of Labor are bad
for the knights themselves.
The just and fair minded men in that
order have only to contemplate the last
prominent act Of one Of the assemblies,
and then ask themselves squarely what il
means This act is the forcing of the dis
charge Of q shOe-cuttcr because he cut out
more shoes than the Knights prescribe
as the standard amount of work Or in
other words, they lay down the dogma
that industry and skill are TO surrender
their privileges and be brought
down to the level of inferior ability,
and thereby there is to be no premium to
be won IN the struggle Of life except what
premiums as the leading spirits of the
Knights would pay TO blind obedience
to arbitrary personal power, when that
personal power, more aristocratic than
any feudal baron ever dared to exercise,
says that if one man is more industrious
aud sklllful than another he must not be
allowed to get the fair profit Of his in
dustry and skill
Turn it as you win you cannot avoid
that issue
There are workingmsn and women in
Richmond factories who make a certain
amount Of money a week, when others,
right by their sides, with the same advan-
tages, make about half that amount
Bring the question home to yourselves.
DO YOU mean that the world is to be put
back so far as to assert the dogma that the
intelligent. industrious, and skillful man
or woman is to be put at the same price
as the inferior workman
DO you mean that years Of labor to ac-
Quire trade are to 60 for nothing, and
that an workers, regardless of merit are
TO get the same just to carry out this
tyrannical idea Of subiecting everybody
to the decree of a committee, or whatever
It is
Certainly the intelligent men in the
Knights Of Labor do not mean to advance
such an idea, but if they bind themselves
to il. it IS plain that they sacrifice them
selves
As for the leaders who DO It, why they
must fancy themselves wiser than the
Providence that has given different men
different grades of capacity.

Doubtless the joint resolution to ap.

mission from the bondholders will pass

The Legislature has been placed In q
delicate and difficult position which, per
haps, only they themselves can fully ap-
preciate, when they are confronted
with the decisions of the United State, SUI
preme Court in opposition to the Riddle
berger bill We know that there is an idea
that the State can fight ont in the courts a
cause Of State rights that was lost i'm war
but we have maintained that the supreme
judicial authority of the United States
must be respected and that we must ac-
cept the difference between the autonomy
Of the States as before the war and now.
Yet we do not see that the coordinate
governments, State and Federal. are hurt
full to the rights of the States when the
supreme power by just decree of law as
serts rule paramount TO the political
Idea q. . party locally administered by
prejudice and misrepresentation
We only appeal to the patriotism and
sense OF the Legislature without any in
tention to hurt anybody's feelings
The decisions of the United States
Supreme Court merely emphasize the
logic of the situation with another H.
lusiratiOn
The Legislature will DO wise thing to
its own credit by appointing the com
mission so accredited that IL may make
statement OF the affairs Of the State o.
Virginia, not with a view TO thimblerig
in game OF politics but TO get Demo.
Gratis and Republicans in an hon
est position, representing the exact
relation between our assets and
our liabilities When this is done. and

ors will do just what men OF affairs do in
business lhey VIII see The difficulties
OF the State, and only ask for fair
settlement according to what their pre-
liminary proposition pointed out. viz.
to base the settlement on ihe surplus reye-
nue. OF the State The members of the
Legislature who viii carry out this
straightforward policy will certainly en-
title themselves to the respect and regard
OF the people in this mos, difficult hour.
The alternative TO the Democratic party
is plain. We will inevitably be divided
and the Republicans will carry the State
against our own doubtful position be-
tween the Riddleberger bill and repudia-
ton.
